Sup, ppl?

Hey, I have a new X8 phone (3 weeks old) and I have a major issue with my camera from day 1!!! It's all glitchy and blurry, with wrong lighting and i can't take pictures at all. Sometimes when I repair the update with PC Companion or SEUS it gets to work again, but after using the phone for some time, it bugs again, especially after playing Angry Birds (even for just once!!!). I have never rooted my phone, it's all original.

I had it repaired by the service center, they said they just ran a software update (and I had the latest version) and I don't know how all my apps were still on the phone (I never manage to do this, everytime I repair the update I lose all my apps, how can I keep them?). I searched the web for several hours and haven't found anyone with my problem. I have posted question on SE support forums and on their Facebook page, but no one seems to help me. I think I'm having this unit replaced.

Another thing is that I formatted my SD card, and I thought I could get the original content again, but I was wrong. I had the "music" folder backed up, but I don't have the "media" folder. I lost some of the alarms (like the "multi alarm" one) and the notifications. Can someone upload the media folder for me please?

Thanks for all the help.

What did u mean blurry? Maybe this phone does no come with an auto focus camera that why when you take picture will blur.;) Correct me if i'm wrong.
[XPERIA X8 General] Felipe MacLeod:
It's not exactly blurry, but it look horrible. For example if you edit a picture and you start messing with hue, saturation or color balance. The more you mess, the worse it gets. The display shows an bad colored looking picture and taking pictures does not work. Tried searching everywhere but can't find anyone with similar problem. :(
[XPERIA X8 General] owiec:
Can you post some photos? The best would be if you could put the phone fg on a table and take a photo without moving it at all. Cause to me it looks like either the camera itself is the issue or something wrong with software, if you're saying that when you mess with settings it gets even worse.
[XPERIA X8 General] Felipe MacLeod:
It's not that I can mess with the settings, the camera app doesn't have ANY settings to mess. The messing with settings exampled I used was about using a photo editor and try messing with the color levels or hue/saturation of any picture. My camera is displaying a screwed up image as if there was some color filter applied to it, someting that would react really poorly to lighting. Just like if you picked up a 16 million color picture with many gray colors (variant colors) and you converted it to like 256 colors, it would look really poor. That's the image my camera shows. :(
[XPERIA X8 General] owiec:
And did you try others apps for camera? Maybe there's something wrong with it. If not - go for warranty ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] Felipe MacLeod:
It happens to any camera app.

I'm an IT guy and I know sometimes unexplainable things happen with hardware/software. Today when I woke up, when I was going to put the phone in the pocket for leaving home, it slipped and fell to the ground scattering parts all over (cover and battery). After rassembling it i thought: "Wtf? I'll try the camera!". And believe or not: it was working PERFECTLY. And is perfect to this very moment. Some problems just don't have a reasonable explanation. ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] Felipe MacLeod:
Original SD Content

Now the only missing piece is the original SD content, which I happened to wipe out unadvertedly. I tried some undelete tools, but none found the data, and I probably already overwrote all the data with many backups that I made.

So, if anyone could be very kind to post me the media folder contents (with the alarms and everything) and also the pictures that came in the images folder I guess?

Thanks, ppl.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Black Droid:
So I performed a successful root last night of my Dinc and couldn't be happier it didn't brick! Now since I'm rooted, I have a few questions. Since I believe in fair play, I think I want to stay with the stock rom for now, and customize at a later date. I figure I should at least give it a fighting chance. Until then, I was wondering if I could at least install a custom boot animation, and a custom kernel.

Any decent out there for custom boot animation?

And is installing a custom kernel even possible with the stock rom?

By the way, I'm a new member, and look forward to gathering a lot of good information here. Thanks for having me!

and Yes:

*Note that stock ROM is a Sense ROM, so make sure you don't try to use any AOSP Kernels.

I'd suggest chad's incredikernel:

specifically:

I've tried a lot of kernels, and for Sense- none really compare to his. Great battery life and better performance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farkmeil:
Yes there are several kernals you can use. I currently have the following invisiblek kernal (download link)

http://android.grdlock.net/index.ph...ory=HTC Incredible/invisiblek/kernels/testing

I've been moving between Virtuous (a Sense ROM with a few needed tweeks), the current CyanogenMod nightly, and MIUI. All of which can be downloaded and installed through ClockworkMod's ROM Manager (available in the android market). Welcome and best of luck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
invisiblek is pretty much the AOSP version of incredikernel.

So to say what I said before to the OP, if you're going to stick with the stock ROM then make sure you don't flash an AOSP Kernel (including invisiblek) :p !
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Black Droid:
Thanks for the quick responses guys. I'm pretty new to all of this, so I am going to need a step by step guide on how to add the custom boot anime and custom kernel. If you could provide links to these guides, you would be life savers. Thanks again!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
The guide for the boot animation should be in the link provided at the top of the post.

For flashing a Kernel, basically just download the file and place it in the root of your SD card (not in any folders).

Then boot into recovery (boot while holding down arrow, scroll over to recovery, press power button) and install .zip from SD card. You'll find where you put it, then apply it and it'll restart and you'll have your new kernel.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Black Droid:
I looked around in that thread, and believe it only gives you links to download splashes or boot animations, but no actual step by step instructions
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cavi_:
I started out like you... rooted then stuck around on stock for awhile. Once I started into my first ROM, I've tried several now. It will blow your mind!

For your future reference, Warm 2.2 and Warm Z are fantastic, and are both Sense roms you will recognize.

For something completely different, try MIUI.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Black Droid:
I have root explorer, so does this sound like the right way to install my new boot animation?

"Mount your droid to your PC and place the bootanimation.zip file at the root of your sdcard. Then using root explorer navigate to your sdcard, long press on the bootanimation.zip file until a popup menu appears. Select "Move" or "Copy". Once you select one, "Paste" and "Cancel" buttons will appear near the bottom of your screen. Now, press the back button to move to the root of your file system. Then navigate to data/local/ and then press "Paste". You'll be prompted to overwrite the existing bootanimation.zip. Press "OK". Then reboot."

So basically, I find the file I want to use as my new boot animation, then rename it bootanimation.zip, and proceed with the instructions. Sound about right? But what about the sound I want to go along with it? How do I tie this in with the boot animation?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Black Droid:
Also, When I use root explorer to look for the stock boot animation in data/local, it isn't there. I am using the stock rom on the dinc, so where is it???

Edit, I found the boot animation zip in system/customize/resource

So should I just move and paste my new boot animation here and label it VZW_bootanimation.zip like the stock one is labeled???
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
If I remember right, I mounted my SD card to my computer and just replaced it through my PC. I think the way you're doing it will work too, but best to get someone elses opinion since I changed mine weeks ago and don't fully remember how :rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotaryboots:
you could also put the animation on your phone using the adb commands

adb devices

adb shell

cd /system/customize/resource

ls

(check for bootanimation.zip, if its there then delete it like so...)

rm bootanimation.zip

(then)

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

If you find it being called VZW_animation.zip then rename the bootanimation.zip to that. Then delete the old one and push the new one in.

Pretty much the same dance if you're using terminal on your phone, you'd just have to cd to your sdcard and copy it to your bootanimation directory.

Also make sure you unmount system before you reboot if you use the adb route.

...wow can you tell I had some experiences making my boot animations work?

Do your self a favor and just go ahead and flash a new rom like incredibly re-engineered or something. I like the evo port in that rom a lot. I tried a few in the beginning and landed on this rom setup. Make sure you do a wipe first. Oh, always backup. Just do a quick backup of your stock rom, and then try out a few different roms. If you decide you'd like to stick with the stock rom, then just restore it and you're right back to where you were when you back'd it up.

Hey guys, did I flash a new kernel when I flashed incredibly re-engineered to my phone? Even if I have the stock kernel I still have no complaints with speed and I'm used to smartphone kind of battery life...I came from a windows phone...need I say more? Battery life is pretty darn good though, last the whole day, even when I've been using it a lot that day as an mp3 player or gps and wifi and what-ever. I even have the stock 1300 bat in her.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Black Droid:
Well guys, using root explorer, I made it all work. Wanted to share my final creation. I didn't delete the stock boot animation though, just renamed it(in case I need to send it in) but all seems to be running well. Check it out!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlakeACullum:
Phone was working fine, able to access download mode/recovery mod. Then I flashed DarkFire theme on FireFly 2.3. It will boot up all the way, ask me which Launcher to use (pro/gingerbread). But when I click one will vibrate like an FC and go back to boot animation. My plan was to flash back to stock and start over, however it seems my ability to get into download mode has been taken away. Any ideas? Ive tried the 3 button to get into recovery. I do not have a jig, and am hoping that can be a last resort.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiteguypl:
When you boot up can you hold down power "before choosing a launcher" to access the extended power menu? If so you can get into download with that, or even recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlakeACullum:
No, it sends it back to the boot animation.

If all else fails, ill be taking a ride to the radio shack to make myself a g-jig.

Just to be sure, you did yank the battery and then try to go into Recovery mode correct? I found I wasn't able to do so with the 3 button process until I yanked the battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlakeACullum:
I literally tried every combination to get it into recovery. Went ahead and took a trip to radio shack this morning. Phone is now working like a champ after building a jig.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] csurfer:
Just installed Swype on the NOOK. Man this keyboard rocks. :D

You need a rooted device to install the Swype apk into the /system/app directory.

Run the app from there then select the Swype keyboard from the keyboard selection option in settings.

Works like a charm.

I have an autonooted Nook with Root Explorer

I tried downloading an apk I found online and it installed but it wouldn't work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] csurfer:
Installation is very simple.

1. Use z4root to root the nook color.

2. Use androotfile to put the swype apk in the /system/app sired directory. (allow super user)

3. Run swype apk from this location.

4. Use nook color tools, select swype keyboard from the list.

That's all there is to it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dizx:
I'm already rooted with autonooter on 1.1. Do I have to reroot with z4.

I did as the OP with root explorer, and it installed, but selection did not show up on the keyboard list.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] csurfer:
The key is putting swype in the correct directory. The only way I could get it there was by getting write permission to the directory. The apk will let you install from any location it just will not work. Anything that will allow you to copy the apk to the /system/app directory is ok.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dizx:
Yep, did all that before, so it's frustrating that it didn't work.

Now, after clearing data in TiBu, I can get Swype listed as a selection in the Keyboard Menu, but it's not popping up.

Can I ask what version of Swype you are using?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dizx:
Try clearing data in TiBu and maybe you can get it listed on the Keyboard Menu as a selection. I did this, but I can't get the keyboard to pop up when I want to type something.

The installer APK, or the Swype APK? I have the installer, as I'm in the beta, but the installer refuses to download the program due to the screen size.

I can't seem to get this to work running Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 off the SD card.

When I first moved the apk to /system/app there was an option in Language and Keyboard and a checkbox next to Swype. Couldn't get the Swype keyboard to come up after selecting it. Then got a FC.

I've attempted reinstalls, cleared out Swype files using ROM Manager, wiped data on Swype using TiBu.

Right now all I get is the Swype settings but the keyboard is coming up as default.

Any idea on if I'm doing something wrong?
